Respect

Those associated with sports show respect by treating themselves, other persons, institutions and their sport according to the highest standards of conduct. It implies civilized and gracious behaviors towards players, coaches, fans, and parents.

Responsibility

Athletes show responsibility by making academic progress towards graduation their top priority. They solve problems rather than make excuses and are reliable team players. Students should be accountable for their actions and decisions. Coaches and administrators should maintain high standards for competence and conduct.

Integrity

Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles with a personal choice to uphold one’s self to a consistent, ethical and moral standard to develop character.

Servant Leadership

This core value refers to putting the team first and taking personal responsibility for individual and group roles while performing at peak excellence. Students demonstrating servant leadership have a primary purpose and responsibility to serve others while striving for personal growth and becoming a team leader. The servant-leader provides society with selfless acts of charity while demonstrating a superior example of a model citizen with character.

Sportsmanship

Sportsmanship is the code of conduct provided for educational sports that represents the highest standards required of student-athletes. Coaches, student-athletes, and parents are expected to act appropriately and responsibly – even when others may not – while demonstrating fairness and equity in all contests and relationships.

Too many students and student-athletes have big dreams, yet don’t know how to achieve them. To make their goals a reality, they need to feel supported, confident and guided through both secondary and higher education systems.
